the nanny has never
eaten a single fresh fruit
I can’t even believe that, L says
twirling her long hair as we sit
in chrome-heavy traffic
I look at myself
in the mirror less often
why did I bother with that
the current refrain of my life
blu-blu-blu-blu means
more blueberries now
Sela’s blurry pout teaches me
or should I say, relearns me
the language of the insatiable
oh her blurry pout!
I’ve been thinking about “I look at myself // in the mirror less often / why did I bother with that” all night!
Love the ending!
Yeah, why the eff *did* I bother with that????? You totally learned me!
